PlanIT replaces planning spreadsheets and ERP-only screens with a finite-capacity engine, what-if simulator and a planner workspace built for the realities of apparel, leather, footwear, furniture and discrete-manufacturing floors — deployed across multi-plant, multi-region operations.
Twelve capabilities your planners, plant heads and IT team will tick off on day one. Each one is engineered for the way real factories actually run — not a brochure feature list.
PlanIT's core is a deterministic finite-capacity scheduler. It plans against your actual calendars, shifts, manpower skills, machine availability, mold sets, tooling and material readiness — not an infinite-capacity MRP wish-list.
Every planner faces the same question — what happens if I take this rush order, lose this machine for a shift, or push overtime on Saturday? PlanIT runs each scenario as a sandboxed copy of the live plan, scores it, and lets you publish only the winner.
Move a work order on the Gantt and PlanIT instantly recomputes every downstream operation against finite capacity. Colour-coded risk, priority and material-clearance flags make the next decision obvious — no SQL, no spreadsheets.
PlanIT applies Theory of Constraints logic continuously — surfacing the true bottleneck for each product family, sizing the right buffer in front of it, and warning when sequencing decisions risk starving or overloading it.
PlanIT integrates with SAP, Oracle, MS Dynamics, Infor, Tally and custom ERPs via REST APIs, secure file drop or governed Excel templates. Orders, BOMs, routings, inventory and confirmations flow both ways — your ERP stays the system of record.
The economics of a PlanIT deployment are rarely a single number. They are the compounding effect of several leaks being plugged at once. The model below is what we jointly build with your finance team during the discovery phase.
1 senior planner saves 25–35 hours/week of Excel maintenance and firefighting.
Theory-of-Constraints sequencing and DBR release typically unlock 15–25% more output on the constraint resource.
Material-constrained scheduling and synchronised release cut average WIP by 25–35%.
Earlier visibility into at-risk orders removes most air-freight expedites and SLA penalties.
Schedule attainment improves, so reactive weekend OT drops without hurting OTD.
Reliable delivery earns preferred-supplier status with global brands and modest price premiums on repeat business.
Customer identities are anonymised. The numbers are real and validated jointly with each customer's finance team during quarterly review.
PlanIT ships with industry-tuned constraint libraries, KPI packs and reference deployments across leather, leather goods, furniture, apparel and footwear — so go-live is configuration, not custom development.
One credible plan the floor and the buyer both believe.
Re-plan in minutes after disruptions instead of late-night Excel.
Real OTD, throughput and OT visibility across plants and regions.
Sits cleanly on ERP — REST, SFTP or Excel. Cloud, private or on-prem.
Cloud, private cloud or on-prem. Single tenant or multi-plant, multi-region. PlanIT slots into your existing security, identity and ERP stack without forcing a re-platform — and meets the controls global enterprise security teams review on day one.
Orders, BOMs, routings, inventory and capacity arrive from ERP / MES on schedule or via API.
PlanIT applies calendars, skills, tooling, chemistry rules and material-readiness gates.
Finite-capacity engine sequences against priority, due date, changeover and bottleneck buffers.
Planner sandboxes scenarios — rush orders, breakdowns, OT — and scores each on OTD, throughput, WIP.
Role-based publish workflow with electronic sign-off, version history and audit trail.
Plan pushes to shop-floor terminals and ERP; confirmations and exceptions flow back live.
We model one of your real product families and walk you through a live plan — no slides, no sales script.
